[NO REPRO] When message log in own window, stealing focus becomes annoying

Post by ColonelMolerat »

A minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless...

When the message log is in a second window (eg, on another screen), every message switches the focus to it. If you then want to use a keyboard shortcut (eg to slow time or pause), you have to click to refocus on the main window before you can use any key commands or mouse bindings (which can cause panic if you need to pause or slow time in a rush).

Perhaps it could be made not to steal the focus so?

Edit...

Weird. It's fine today! Never mind...

Doesn't happen to me unless I click the message window and in doesn't matter where the message window is.

Not going to help you much but ii might help finding the problem.

Ok let us know if you determine any specific sequence that leads to it. I'll ask our beta team to see if they can find it.
